    Perhaps They Should Bring This Commercial Back



    I remember as a child seeing this commercial, from the Ad Council on stopping all kinds of pollution.

    The above is a PSA (public service announcement) from the early 1970s. The Native American Iron Eyes Cody, played by (Louisiana-born) Espera DeCorti would row his boat across streams, then walk across the city and see litter strewn all over the place. Each commercial featuring Iron Eyes would end with a tear rolling from his eye.

    There was also another commercial from another non-profit, Keep American Beautiful, that had two animated men, kind of like Dick Tracy, only they were wearing capes (you can see this by clicking on the title, and going to the appropriate area)
